[QUOTE="wavemotion, post: 9986575, member: 543929"] So I'm not ready for a new build (probably this weekend) but I've got some cool stuff coming. I can now support the 2X bankswitched RAM scheme. This doubles the 16K of extra RAM available for games to use. Unfortunately, it's only used by one test/demo so far... but hopefully more games will support that in the future. But the big change coming is a new way of handling the High Score Cart. Hopefully you've been using the highscore.rom which is an add-on peripheral to support high score saving automatically by games that take advantage of it. There are already 50+ games that use it... including some of the classics. The problem is that the original standard only allowed for 69 entries which are chewed up rather quickly if you're playing a lot of the HSC supported games. Last night I added an 8x density on the HSC by using virtual cart slots backed to a single 16K SRAM file. Each 2K SRAM slot is based on the first letter of the cart filename. The first time you run a game with HSC support and enter an owner-name it will replicate that (along with the magic numbers) across all 8 virtual cart slots. Similarly if you later change the cart owner's name, that gets replicated across all 8 virtual cart slots. The user is blissfully unaware - they think they have one save cart but under the hood it's magically spread out across 8 virtual high score carts. In this way, the effective number of game entry slots is 552 though based on the game filename it's not [I]quite [/I]evenly distributed. But it's good enough - and virtually ensures that we won't run out. The user should never even notice that this virtual cart swapping is going on under the hood. [/QUOTE]
